Athletics In out-of door sports Harmony High School has won an enviable place. The participants have met in contests of various kinds the teams of nearly ail the neighboring high schools, and have always given a good account of themselves. Uniform good-feeling has existed between the contesting teams, and many pleasant friendships have been formed. When school opened in the fall of 1903 the prospects were bright for afoot-hall team. The boys began practice with much vim and were soou in form. The first game was played with Rushford High. It resulted in a victory for Harmony, score lt to 5. In the return game, played at Rushford two weeks later, they were again defeated, score 10 to U. Next a game was arranged with Lanesboro High. This proved to be a very close contest, Lanes boro winning by a score of t to 5. The last game of the season was played on home grounds with Cresco. It resulted in a victory for them, 5 to 11. This ended the first season of foot hall. Not much interest was manifested in foot hall during the season of 1904. Practice was begun late and a small schedule of two games only, was played. In the first one, Rushford High was defeated; the second was with Lanesboro, which they won. Two basket ball teams were organized late in the fall of 1902. Owing to lack of a place for .practice, these teams wer disbanded after playing a few practice games. Indoor-base ball has never nourished owing to a lack of a suitable place, also, although teams have been organized and a few games played each winter. lu none of the Athletic contests It as the High School shown greater skill and made a better record than in out door base ball. As soon as the weather permits every spring base ball practice is begun and the hoys usually succeed iu developing a very good team. In 1903 hut two games were piayed. Roth were with Lanesboro High and ended with honors even. A better record was made for the next season. 1904. The first game was played here with C'resuo High.

tlhr (Cmiti'sts “Soul of the Violin,” held the clos attention of the audience. Their pieces were pleasing and effective. Next the people were entertained by the High School Male Quartette. They sang “Masaa’a in de Cold. Cold, Ground.” and responded to an encore. Then Teddy Ryan (Olympian) gave his oration, “The Union Soldier”; Hubert Russell (Delphian) followed with “The Unknown Speaker.”They made the old hall ring and received much applause. The last number was the declamations. Vida Russell (Olympian ) gave “The Lance of Kanana” and Eda Kasen ( Delphian ) “The Ohari »t Race. ’ They held their own with other contestants, and their selections were fully appreciated. After the applause had abated. Mr. Seivig announced the decision of the judges. They had decided in favor of the Del-phians, but all were satisfied. To close the program a short One Act Comedy was give 1 The cast consisted of eight characters chosen from amoug the students.The comedy was entitled “A Good Dinner” and was very laughable. A county declamatory contest had been plat tied to be giveu at Preston February 24. Each of thesix Fill more County High Schools was to send two representative . Harmony sent to this contest Eda Kasen and Rubye Dunn. Wli.-n the time came for the the girls to give their parts, they rendered them well, indeed. Eda took the people with her in “The Chariot Race” and made the picture stand out vividly to her hearers. Rubye was given by her audience that quiet and intense attention which bespeaks successful effort. When the decision of the judges was given, Harmony was not one of the prize win- ners. Of course we should have liked it better if we could have brought home one of the two prizes, but the team did well, and the school is proud of the showing it made.
